Gaza: crimes and question marks
The Gaza Strip is unlivable even for the UN
It becomes more difficult every day to understand the reasons for this rocket war...
It becomes more difficult every day to understand the reasons for this rocket and bombing war between Gaza and Israel. Because it's been going on for weeks, with dead and wounded on both sides, even if it is increasingly clear that no one, neither the Palestinians nor the Israelis, né Hamas né Netanyahu, he really wants to get to an open confrontation. Yet we are here, with hundreds of rockets departing from the Strip and now having a range that is double that of a few years ago, and the fighters of the Jewish State that level buildings and hit strategic targets.
With the inevitable drama of civilians killed, including women and children. With the aftermath of international tensions. The task of understanding becomes even more complex if we take into account the signs of "détente" (term that in these parts, as you can see, should be used with caution) detected in recent times. Hamas has tried to keep more radical Islamist groups at bay, still convinced that provocation towards Israel is the best way to claim Palestinian rights. And its diplomats do not stop negotiating with Egypt to keep the very fragile ceasefire alive, at the same time, loosen the grip in which the Israeli blockade holds the two million inhabitants of the Strip.

Poland: defended the icon of the Madonna from gay blasphemy

Poland, color the Madonna's halo with the rainbow flag. Arrested

Elzhbieta Podlyasnaya, 51 years, known for being a regular visitor to demonstrations against the government, was arrested today for spreading a photo of the Madonna with a halo in the colors of the rainbow flag around Warsaw.
To have been retouched by Podlyasnaya, it was the icon of Our Lady of Czestochowa, one of the main Catholic shrines in Poland. The image was then posted in several public toilets and on rubbish bins.
Polish Interior Minister Joachim Brudziński, with a tweet, he explained that the woman was arrested “for having desecrated the sacred image of the Virgin Mary… No story about free speech and tolerance gives anyone the right to insult the feelings of believers”.
Podlyasnaya's house was searched and several prints of the same image were seized.
Meanwhile the woman justifies herself, claiming to have acted in protest against the current homophobic policy of the current Polish authorities. He now faces up to two years in prison.

Syria: witnesses not gagged

Press release no. 37/19 of May 8th 2019, Apparitions of Saint Michael
God bless them all, protect them and bring them victory against the terrorist plague that has been brought to them by the monsters in the West and their tyrant allies that are Turkey, the Gulf States and Israel”.

On the Idlib front line, Christian cities are preparing with courage and faith for the challenge of terrorism
I just returned to Damascus after spending almost 4 days in the Syrian Christian cities of Al Skeilbiyyeh and Mhardeh. During my stay in Al Skeilbiyyeh, the city was attacked by Hayat Tahrir Al Sham (formerly Nusra Front / Al Qaeda). Il 24 April, 16 Grad missiles launched by terrorists targeted civilian homes in the city, causing enormous material damage, but fortunately no martyrs or wounded.
The National Defense Forces (NDF) they responded vigorously and my photos show successful targeting of terrorist enclaves in Madiq Citadel – the tallest white building (a former grain factory and storage center) it is now occupied by a combination of the White Helmets and the Al Nusra Front, according to NDF soldiers.
Later the same night, the attacks have intensified considerably, the terrorist forces of the Al Nusra Front got closer than 200 meters from the city and we were asked to return to sheltered places. The firing of missiles by the NDF was a welcome sound, knowing the closeness of the Al Nusra Front to the civilians of this resolute and resilient city. An Al Nusra Front rocket exploded less than 10 meters from where I was, according to the soldiers (and the sound of the explosion). While the NDF intensified their defensive fire on terrorist positions, a dear friend, Wissam Sliman, sent me the following messages that he had managed to collect among the terrorist fighters: First terrorist: “I swear to God, feel as if the earth is cracking with each rocket that lands”. Second terrorist: “Bastards! They (NDF) they are shooting 4 o 5 projectiles simultaneously”. Read More

For the Roman Mass, against the Novus ordo
by

Giuseppe Federici Study Center – For a new onset
Press release no. 36/19 of the 6 maggio 2019, San Giovanni a Porta Latina
For the Roman Mass, against the Novus ordo
“Whoever is satisfied with the M.P. the Supreme Pontiff, which on the contrary declares that the missal reformed by Paul VI is the ordinary rite of the Catholic Church, and which defends its doctrinal orthodoxy a priori, he has already deserted the battle that has begun, 40 years ago, give a brief critical review of the New Order of the Mass".
Preface to the reprint of the Brief Critical Examination of the Novus Ordo Miss
Il 30 November 1969, first Sunday of Advent and therefore the beginning of the new liturgical year, a new "Ordo Missae" was to come into force in all Catholic churches, a new missal (promulgated with the apostolic constitution Missale Romanum of 3 April 1969) in application, it was said, of the conciliar constitution on the liturgy Sacrosantum Concilium (4 December 1963). In the intentions of Paul VI, clearly manifested in the consistory to the cardinals of 24 maggio 1976, the reformed missal had to take - definitively - the place of the old one: “The adoption of the new Ordo Missae is certainly not left to the free decision of the priest or the faithful. The education of 14 June 1971 predicted that the celebration of mass according to the ancient rite would be permitted, with the authorization of the Ordinary, only to elderly or sick priests who celebrate without assistance. The new Ordo was promulgated to take the place of the old one, after mature reflection, in order to put into practice the norms established by the Second Vatican Council".
Thirty years have passed now (Today 50, ndr) from that famous speech, and the ancient missal has not disappeared, as was desired and thought. And this not only because it is still celebrated in every part of the Catholic world, but also because the provisions issued by the successors of Paul VI have increasingly authorized the celebration of the ancient missal; ultimo in ordine di tempo il Motu Proprio "Summorum Pontificum" del 7 July 2007.

70° anniversary of the Superga tragedy
by

Giuseppe Federici Study Center – For a new onset

70° anniversary of the Superga tragedy
Il 4 maggio 1949 the players of Grande Torino, together with technicians, managers, journalists and crew, perished in the plane crash on the Superga hill, in Turin, returning from Lisbon.
Pope Pius XII's message to the families of the victims
“Blessed souls of our brothers, victims of an atrocious fate, may our prayer and the cry of our invincible pain reach you” (and: “FIGC, extraordinary bulletin in memory of the Fallen of Superga, 4 maggio 1949”).
The funeral in Turin Cathedral celebrated by card. Ditches
“(…) The Cardinal Archbishop (Maurilio Fossati) he waits at the top of the staircase surrounded by the canons of the metropolitan Chapter. The space beneath him is now packed in every corner. The funeral office, "the absolution on the mound", it begins. The prayers are said softly, punctuated here and there by the cathedral's choir of singers, now light and caressing, now strong and impetuous like a hymn of triumph. “Free me, Sir, about eternal death, in die illa tremendous…”; the beautiful words of the liturgy descend on the bodies lined up in the darkness, on the motionless crowd. The Cardinal raises the sprinkler, he blesses several times with calm and solemn gestures, towards that black mass that contains the thirty-one coffins and the people, in a single hug. The light of a candle trembles on the prayer book: the only light, viva, and throbbing, throughout the square. "May the angels lead you to Paradise," murmured the choir in a very low voice, at the moment in which the Prelate raises his hand once again in the gesture of farewell and final blessing. The funeral rite ended on the sweet and hopeful verses of the antiphon, and the black mass, I was carried, and the people, he's still holding his breath, oppressed by an unspeakable emotion (…)” (“The Press”, Saturday 7 maggio 1949).

your lord: burn churches? And, but
by

In the statement “Not only Islam” of 19/4/2019 (cfr http://www.centrostudifederici.org/non-solo-islam/) relating to Rabbi Shlomo Aviner's statements on the fire of Notre Dame in Paris, we announced that we would still be working on this character.

We do it now with the translation of an article published in the USA on rabbinical disquisitions relating to the legality of burning Catholic churches. With reversed parts (Catholic theologians/Israelite temples) all hell would break loose: instead the Italian media (and the Vatican) they prudently ignore the claims of the steam masters. Let's hope that the hypothesis according to which "those with flames wound, of flames (forever) perish".
After the fire of Notre Dame, one of Israel's chief rabbis says that “There are no commandments to burn churches abroad. In the our holy land, However, the question is more complicated"
The authoritative rabbi of the settlers, Shlomo Aviner, has today (Tuesday 16/47/2019) declared that burning churches outside the Land of Israel is “not our job for now”, but as regards the Holy Land "the question is more complicated". Aviner thus seems to have returned the question about the possibility of burning churches in the Holy Land to the sender.
Aviner, who takes a public salary as rabbi of the important colony of Beit El and is also rabbi of a prestigious yeshivah (He would destroy Jerusalem, formerly Ateret Cohanim), he is considered to be one of the most important rabbis of the nationalist religious faction. He is a prolific writer, having published further 200 books in various languages. Aviner is also considered a pioneer of the SHUT-SMS phenomenon, through which his followers send the rabbi a question via SMS message (e, more recently, via Facebook Messenger and Whatsapp) and Aviner responds briefly. Aviner is one of the most popular rabbis of all of the SHUT-SMS phenomenon, because it answers every question, even to those that are obvious mockery (and here I speak from experience).
Today, after the fire in Notre Dame Cathedral, Aviner was asked the following question:
“The largest Christian Church in Paris is on fire. We should feel sorry for this, or we should rejoice, as the cathedral is a place of idolatry, so there is a precept that commands us to burn it?”
The interviewer here is referring to the Halachic statement that is the normative religious tradition of Judaism, according to which churches are considered places of idolatry, and must be destroyed.

Prayer to preserve the true Faith
by

Prayer to preserve the true Faith” written by Saint Peter Canisius (1521-1597), Dutch of the Society of Jesus, apostle of the Counter-Reformation in Germany, defined as the “hammer of heretics”, beatified by Pius IX in 1868 and canonized by Pius XI in 1925 who also appointed him Doctor of the Church.

I confess aloud for my salvation everything that Catholics have always rightly believed in their hearts. I abominate Luther, I hate Calvin, I curse all heretics; I don't want to have anything in common with them, because they neither speak nor hear aright, and they do not possess the only rule of true Faith proposed to us by the only one, santa, Catholic, apostolic and Roman Church. Instead, I join in communion, I embrace faith, I follow religion and approve the doctrine of those who listen to and follow Christ, not only when he teaches in the Scriptures but also when he judges at the mouth of the Ecumenical Councils and defines at the mouth of the Chair of Peter, testifying it with the authority of the Fathers. I also profess myself a son of that Roman Church which the impious blasphemers despise, they persecute and abominate as if it were anti-Christian; I do not depart from his authority at any point, nor do I refuse to give my life and shed my blood in its defense, and I believe that the merits of Christ can procure my salvation or the salvation of others only in the unity of this same Church.
I profess with frankness, with Saint Jerome, to be united with those who are united to the Chair of Peter and I protest, with Saint Ambrose, to follow in everything that Roman Church which I respectfully recognize, with Saint Cyprian, as the root and mother of the universal Church. I rely on this Faith and doctrine that I learned as a child, as a young man I confirmed, as an adult I have taught and that so far, with my weak power, I defended. There is no other reason that drives me to make this profession other than the glory and honor of God, awareness of the truth, the authority of the canonical Holy Scriptures, the sentiment and consensus of the Fathers of the Church, the testimony of the Faith that I must give to my brothers and finally the eternal salvation that I await in Heaven and the bliss promised to the true faithful.
If it happens that because of this profession of mine I am despised, mistreated and persecuted, I will consider it as an extraordinary grace and favor, because that will mean that you, my God, you give me the opportunity to suffer for justice and because you don't want those people to be benevolent to me, as open enemies of the Church and of Catholic truth, they cannot be your friends. However, forgive them, Gentleman, so long as, or because they were instigated by the devil and blinded by the glimmer of a false doctrine, they don't know what they are doing, or they don't want to know.
Grant me this grace anyway, that in life and in death I always bear an authoritative testimony of the sincerity and loyalty that I owe to you, to the Church and to the truth, may I never distance myself from your holy love and may I be in communion with those who fear you and who guard your precepts in the holy Roman Church, to whose judgment I submit myself and all my works with a prompt and respectful soul. All the saints who, either triumphant in Heaven or militant on earth, they are inextricably united with the bond of peace in the Catholic Church, may they exalt your immense goodness and pray for me. You are the beginning and the end of all my goods; Praise be to you in all respects, everlasting honor and glory.

The Armenian genocide

Giuseppe Federici Study Center – For a new onset

Press release no. 35/19 of the 24 April 2019, Saint Fedele from Sigmaringa
The Armenian genocide
We remember the anniversary of the Armenian genocide of 1915 with the lyrics of a famous song by Charles Aznavour and with links to our press releases from recent years.
They fell
They fell, without really knowing why
Men, women, and children who only wanted to live
With heavy gestures like drunken men
Mutilated, massacred, eyes open with fear.
They fell calling on their God
At the threshold of their church or at their doorstep
In desert herd, staggering, in cohort
Overwhelmed by thirst, hunger, iron, the fire.
No one raised their voice in a euphoric world
While a people languished in their blood
Europe discovered jazz and its music
The cries of trumpets drowned out the cries of children.

 

They fell modestly, without noise,
By the thousands, by millions, without the world moving,
Becoming for a moment, tiny red flowers
Covered by a wind of sand and then oblivion.
They fell, eyes full of sunshine,
Like a bird that a bullet shatters in flight
To die anywhere and without leaving a trace,
Ignored, forgotten in their last sleep.

The Lord rose from the grave, alleluia

The Lord rose from the grave, alleluia
Best wishes to everyone on the feast of the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
“As you awaken from the victory blast of the divine Risen One and radiate from his mystical splendors, you are gathered here, of beds sons and daughters, to join your hosannas to the exultation of angelic choirs: The angelic host of heaven rejoices now (Herald. pasch.). The powerful chorus of your jubilation, that echoes in this sacred place, so rich in lofty and animating Christian memories, it is a wonderful verse of the perennial hymn that the Church has sung for two millennia to its divine King, conqueror of death" (First xii, Easter 1956).

FALSE RELIGION

Not just Islam
by

Giuseppe Federici Study Center – For a new onset

Rabbi Shlomo Aviner, leading figure in religious Zionism, declared that the burning of the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris could be a punishment from God for the volumes of the Talmud burned in Paris in the 13th century. Obviously those who claim to defend Europe from the current invasion in the name of secularism and pro-Israeli anti-Islamism, they were careful not to highlight the rabbi's words. After Easter we will publish another significant intervention by Rabbi Shlomo Aviner.
The words spoken a few months ago by Don Ricossa come to mind: “Do not think that Jewish associations are against this invasion. Or better, on one side with one hand they favor it, so much so that Mgr. Lefebvre was denounced by Licra (League against anti-Semitism and racism) for speaking badly of the Islamic invasion: the Jews in favor of the Muslims. At the same time though, in the same way, important exponents of current Judaism are supporting many movements that are rightly anti-Islamic. Steve Bannon is also allied with senior figures close to Netanyahu, and not just him. Because they have this double maneuver? Because it's divide and conquer, their aim is evidently to turn the Muslims against the Christians – invade them! – Christians against Muslims, – the only bad ones are them -, and as long as they fight for us (Jews) it's fine. I remind you when for example in Nazareth (In the 1999) was built, to fuel this conflict, by the Israeli government a huge mosque in front of the Basilica of Nazareth, and the Palestinian Authority opposed it. Because the Palestinian Authority wanted peace among the Palestinians, who are Christians and others Muslims, while instead the Israeli state wanted to pit Muslims against Christians and Christians against Muslims" Modena, 26/1/2019, extract from the conference by Don Francesco Ricossa: "Christianity, Judaism and Islam”, https://youtu.be/UwvpL2hPVh0)
Good Friday prayers for the conversion of the Jews
We pray also for the perfidious Jews that God and our Lord remove the veil from their hearts; so that they too may recognize Jesus Christ, our Lord. Almighty God forever, who do not repel even Jewish perfidy from your mercy: hear our prayers, which we bear for the blinding of that people; ut, recognized by the light of your truth, which is Christ, let them be delivered from their darkness. Through our Lord Jesus Christ" (from the Roman Missal).
We also pray for the Jews who do not believe, so that the Lord and our God may remove the veil from their hearts and they too may recognize our Lord Jesus Christ. Almighty and eternal God, may not even the disbelief of the Jews turn away from your mercy, answer our prayers, which we present to you for the blinding of that people, so that the light of your truth is recognized, which is Christ, be freed from their darkness. Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
